Critic Reviews:
'Medium-bodied, seamless and elegant, with a gorgeous perfume of herbes de Provence, incense, melted liquorice and both kirsch and black raspberry, this character-filled, fruit-forward beauty should be purchased by the case and enjoyed over the coming 1-2 years.' 89/100 (Wine Advocate) ' [2015 vintage] Full and rich with a hint of something gamey before lots of vital juice. Lots of grip, concentration and ambition. Seems a shame that this fruit used to disappear into a co-op blend.... Pretty hot on the end but good tension on the way there. Really full of 2015 life. Already delightfully readable but clearly this has the potential to become more complex. VGV' 17/20 (JancisRobinson.com)
